There is tons of drama to follow in the Inter Milan vs. Chelsea Champions League match on Wednesday. It’s a role reversal for each of the coaches. Chelsea’s Carlos Ancelotti will travel back to Milan where he once managed AC Milan. Inter Milan’s Jose Mourinho will take on his former club, Chelsea, in what seems to be the best bet for the Round of 16 games in the Champions League.
Inter Milan last squared off against Chelsea in a preseason match at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea won 2-0. Inter Milan has taken the Serie A by storm since then and is currently leading by 7 points. The club has two wins and three draws in its last five and has just three losses on the season, the last one coming in December. Inter Milan is averaging two goals per contest and holding teams on average below one goal at San Siro.
Chelsea is looking to gain is first Premier League title since Mourinho left. It has won three of its last five matches, losing one and drawing one. The club hasn’t performed well on the road as all five losses came away from Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is averaging 1.5 goals and allowing about a goal on the road this season. Frank Lampard will be back and many have him backed to score the first goal of the night, like Bet 365 at 17/2.
Bet365 has Inter Milan at 13/8, Chelsea at 7/4 and the draw at 11/5. But, it also has Chelsea at 9/2 and Inter Milan at 12/1 to win the Champions League outright. Inter Milan is 13/8 at Blue Square, 15/8 at Betfair and 21/10 at Boyslesports. Inter Milan could benefit from Mourinho’s knowledge of Chelsea’s play. This match may be too close to call and could end in a draw at 0-0 or 1-1.
